2016 Outlook: Quality Backup

It's too bad Bennett isn't healthy. He would be rewarded with a great opportunity going forward with Rob Gronkowski out for the season. He's been listed as questionable for multiple games in 2016. Last week Martellus was on the field for 58 of 73 plays run by NE (73 of 76 in Week 12). Over his last two games, he only has four combined catches for 36 yards on seven targets. The Rams are 7th in the league against the TE position with three team scoring 20 Fantasy points (TB - 6/53/2, CAR - 7/69/1, and NO - 10/133). On the year, Martellus averages about five targets per game. Bennett cost Fantasy owners a ton of money over the last couple of games and I'm sure Fantasy owners now have trust issues with him. So just when his situation looks the bleakest, Bill Belichick finds a way to make a player shine offensively.
